Vaginal speculums

My wife has finally joined my interest in MedFet. Ordered catheters, enemas, and speculums which will be arriving tomorrow. Just would like to know any tips, especially safety wise, with the speculums as I have never used one before.

A little lube on the tips of the blades eases insertion , water based lube is the best.

Gentle and slow when you open the speculum inside her, allow her to get used to it. Visualising the cervix takes a little skill and practice, you may have to close the speculum and withdraw it a little before reinserting it to bring the cervix in to view.

Finally, take care when closing the blades before taking the speculum out, it's quite easy to pinch the vaginal walls, which I'm reliably told isn't welcom

Some tips

The patient ought to have an empty bladder, as this can make the examination less uncomfortable.

Having them in a supine position is the best way to aid insertion of a speculum

Lubricate the speculum and warn the patient

Part the labia using your left hand

Gently insert the speculum with your right hand:

Fully insert the speculum with the screw facing sideways and the blades vertical

Rotate 90 degrees during insertion so the screw faces upwards and the blades become horizontal

Slowly open the blades and use light to inspect the cervix

Tighten the screw to hold open the speculum so you can use your right hand for swabs or Pipelle biopsy if necessary.

To remove the speculum, undo the screw to allow the blades to close (leave open slightly to not pinch the vaginal walls), rotating back 90 degrees and gently remove.

Never fully close a speculum before withdrawing it as it will pinch , and you definitely dont want that to occur .

I played doctor a few times, the first few using speculum was not good, one lady even had bleeding after. So be general definitely lube well and practice before you do the real thing

@MedFet13

Everything that needs to be observed has actually been said.

Just leave me to wish you lots of discoveries and fun.

The same precautions also apply to anal Spekula.

I am just curious to know does anyone who is responding to this post, from MedFet13, realize their account is "ACCOUNT IS INACTIVE" , "Pending Deletion"?
